In the Burmeister collection there is a male specimen with a green label with the inscription "Rio d[e] Jan[eiro];" it is in moderate to good condition, but miss ing the left forewing (Fig. 24). Its habitus matches the original description and for this reason we believe that this specimen is the holotype. We label it with a white label with the inscription "Holotype ♂ Antarctia costata Burmeister."
